"'As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.'" John 9:5
gathering up the dust
of our broken dreams,
you mix it with living water
to dab our eyes shuttered
by our worries and fears,
so we might see you with us.
walking in what seem to be
ever deepening shadows
of anger, hate, and resentment
by those who would damage
the most vulnerable around us,
you hand out candles for us
to carry as we journey with
our siblings in our neighborhoods.
when we feel ourselves trapped
in that murkiness holding
the end of everything we hold dear,
we feel you reach out
for our hands, as you whisper,
‘it’s okay. i know the way out.’
